[Ubuntu] Which debian gis packages in experilmental can go into ubuntu

[Johan Van de Wauw]

Hi all,

we are now 2 days away from the Debian import freeze for Vivid.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VividVervet/ReleaseSchedule

Due to the freeze a number of packages have been uploaded to
experimental instead of unstable. On the other hand we have a number
of packages which are in experimental because they are not yet fit for
unstable because of transitions/...

Ubuntu automatically syncs from unstable, but it is possible to
request syncs from experimental as well.

I just wanted to know for which of these packages that would be a
sensible thing to do, and if there are packages where we definitely
should not do so.
